- Comment on A bike rider in Cheshire says people riding on the county’s roads are “fair game for crazy drivers” after police reject video evidence of dangerous driving due to a lack of witnesses 14 hours ago:
Why would you need witnesses when you have video evidence?
- Comment on It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes 15 hours ago:
Why would anyone use an LLM as calculator?
That just doesn’t make sense.
It is like using a calculator as typewriter because it can spell 80085.

It gives people with already too much money a way to invest by gambling without actually helping society.

Maybe like a bunch of white text at 2pt?
Not visible to the user, but fully readable by crawlers.

It is not on a screen.
It is printed with a backlight. You can see that it is just a poster.

You really bit the AI phobia.
Even 1000 non-local AI prompts use about the same energy as your microwave.
Datacenters running AI are crunching billions of prompts a second.

They don’t work though, they just convince people it does.

Secondhand food dehydrator.
Much cheaper and works perfectly fine.

The difference is astounding

Yes, kind of like how those Muslim men think about women, eh?
- Comment on Butter made from carbon tastes like the real thing, gets backing from Bill Gates 1 week ago:
Doesn’t work well in a cake, sadly.
- Comment on Butter made from carbon tastes like the real thing, gets backing from Bill Gates 1 week ago:
About as long as meat, since that is also made from carbon.
- Comment on YSK that despite being outside of US jurisdiction, Lego has dropped diversity and inclusion terminology from its annual report 1 week ago:
pootin Thinks otherwise.
While the US always had fascists, they have been embolstered by Russian propaganda, and people who aren’t fascists have been brainwashed into thinking it isn’t worse than using pronouns.
- Comment on The hidden mental health danger in today’s high-THC cannabis 1 week ago:
You’re right, don’t mind the other commenters.
With edibles or just strong weed, you can have heart palpitations that make you think you are dying. You aren’t actually going to, but it can feel that way when you are mega stoned.
- Comment on The hidden mental health danger in today’s high-THC cannabis 1 week ago:
I mean, outliers always exist. Don’t think those are the norm.
- Comment on The hidden mental health danger in today’s high-THC cannabis 1 week ago:
You can also just buy straight up CBD and mix until your hearts content.
You don’t have to fill it to the brim with high grade pot if you don’t want to.
- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 1 week ago:
Which turns out to be a ton more costly than just paying the employees raise.
- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 1 week ago:
You can be sexist to both women and men.
- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 1 week ago:
They are free to fire anyone they like. They are however not free to ruin peoples lives.
- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 1 week ago:
Free to die you mean?
- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 1 week ago:
The best thing about getting laid off is still getting paid but not having to go to work.
Having responsibility that they don’t want you to abuse, and having a robust social net that requires employers to pay out an employee for a specified time (mine was 3 month) is amazing.
A full 3 months of vacation and plenty of time to look for other jobs.
- Comment on AGI is not coming! - Yanick Kilcher 1 week ago:
It is like raising a baby.
Machine Learning is like teaching computers how to learn new things.
Large Language Models is like teaching computers how to speak.
On its own it won’t do much, it is only a small step. But a necessary one to reach the fully formed being that is an AGI.
(these are analogies, I don’t believe in fully sentient AI ~yet~)
- Comment on AI is not bad for the environment in comparison with many other regular activities. 1 week ago:
My point?
If you complain the world is burning because of AI but you eat beef, you are contributing >2000 times as much as a non-beef eater who uses AI.
Neither AI not beef are a necessity.
- Comment on AI is not bad for the environment in comparison with many other regular activities. 1 week ago:
It doesn’t go into the impact of training, because that isn’t what these AI-phobes complain about.
Even just using it will result in calling it “slop” and complaining about its energy usage.
If they complained about the training, they would have a point. But they don’t. They complain about anything of AI. Even if it has revolutionized things like protein folding in medicine.
- Comment on AI is not bad for the environment in comparison with many other regular activities. 1 week ago:
Yes, when you go by billions, the numbers quickly add up.
For beef, you can feed 1 meal to 3 people, which creates 60 KG of CO~2~.
If you calculate this for Europe, we’d get about 14900000 tonnes of CO~2~ PER DAY.
So promting, even from the biggest LLM currently on the planet, is still only 1/2000 of eating beef in Europe alone.
Your point is misleading even more.

Ugh, I hate these doomerisms. They don’t add anything to life.

The world isn’t fucked, it is the place you live that is fucked.
You are surrounded by fundamental Christians. And even though it is the biggest religion, most Christians don’t act like that. But let me guess, you live in the US? Because there they do. That doesn’t mean this it is indicative to the rest of the world.
You will always find villains doing villainy shit. Shitty people exist.
But the majority are not shitty. They just try to live their lives just like you do.
If the majority were shitty, the world would already have been doomed by nuclear bombs, the hole in the ozone layer would have encapsulated the world, the acid rain would have killed all food and we would live in a Mad Max scenario.
See the sparkle of hope that people spread and try to add to it in a positive way.
- Comment on Habit tracker 1 week ago:
“objective” reality.
Just because it sucks where you live doesn’t mean it sucks everywhere. Do something about it instead of just complaining.
- Comment on Habit tracker 1 week ago:
Yes, but the point is you can always do something about it. It has a cause that you can fix.
Money problems can be solves by lowering your consumption. Medical debt can be solved by moving to a country that does care about its citizens. Awful work can be solved by starting unions or going to a different company. Even if it doesn’t do much, it is at least something.
Just doing nothing and complaining will never solve any problem.
- Comment on The regrets of life 1 week ago:
Obviously not.
Go get some help OP, that isn’t a normal reaction in any stretch of the imagination. And it isn’t a funny joke either.
